What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the BMW X3

Price of the BMW X3: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2009 4dr SUV 260-horsepower 3.0L I6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Very expensive for few features. It will quickly be overtaken by other entrants who have leather, auto tailgates, fold up mirrors, bluetooth, cameras, etc. for less money than the base X3. Lose the metal key please.
2008 4dr SUV 260-horsepower 3.0L I6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Expensive for what you get, particularly when compared to other vehicles.
2007 4dr SUV 260-horsepower 3.0L I6
6-speed manual AWD		 I believe the pricing is about 10% too high, especially when one considers adding options... also the dealer seems to have less margin to deal then other competitors (Lexus,Acura...etc...)
2006 4dr SUV 225-horsepower 3.0L I6
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 The base price is reasonable, but adding options quickly pushes the price north of $45K. Depreciation has been very high, mainly because of it being an SUV having to battle high gas prices.
2005 4dr SUV 225-horsepower 3.0L I6
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 The Ultimate Bank Account Drain
2004 4dr SUV 225-horsepower 3.0L I6
6-speed manual AWD		 insanely expensive 20K more than Vue

What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Acura TSX

Price of the Acura TSX: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2009 4dr Sedan 201-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Got it for well below invoice
2008 4dr Sedan 205-horsepower 2.4L I4
6-speed manual FWD		 It was $5000 less than an A4 and $10000 less than a BMW 3.
2006 4dr Sedan 205-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 inexpensive in its class
2006 4dr Sedan 205-horsepower 2.4L I4
6-speed manual FWD		 The TSX is a lot of car for the price. The only extra cost option is navigation, which I did not get. Everything else is standard.
2006 4dr Sedan 205-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Best value at the price point, compared to the competition (Lexus IS, Infiniti G35)
Price of the Acura TSX: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2009 4dr Sedan 201-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 too high
2007 4dr Sedan 205-horsepower 2.4L I4
6-speed manual FWD		 Just seemed a bit pricy for what you were getting, but ther was no faulting the overall quality feel and execution of all aspects of this vehicle.
2006 4dr Sedan 205-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 For the same MSRP as the Accord V6 w/ 6SP, the monthly payment on the lease was about $100/mo. more. The dealers were also very firm with their pricing.
2006 4dr Sedan 205-horsepower 2.4L I4
6-speed manual FWD		 Dealer unwilling to negotiate price.
2005 4dr Sedan 200-horsepower 2.4L I4
6-speed manual FWD		 Too expensive for what you get as a used car. Nothing I can see warrants this high resale value for what is essentially a European Honda Accord
